how far along? 28 wks / 7 mth

maternity clothes? all the way. zach's tee shirts are coming in pretty handy these days!

stretch marks? nope

sleep? still having pain in my hips which wakes me up a couple of times a night. i take fairly regular afternoon naps which help.

best moment last week? paintwork is now complete in addy's room, our bedroom and master sitting room, as well as our bathroom! my bedroom is now my new favorite space.

movement? lots, which makes me happy! i had a few days where i wasn't feeling her and it really scared me. i called the doc and got an extra sonogram which showed me my healthy little girl! (turns out i was just a paranoid momma)

symptoms? weight gain! i am experiencing pressure on my ribs, sitting for any extended period of time is pretty painful.

gender? girl. Addelyn Elizabeth

nursery? paint is done. crib and dresser are in her room, day bed is painted and my mom has made her drapes, bed skirt & bumper.

labor signs? nope

belly button in/out? in, but getting smaller by the day.

what I miss? mainly my energy.

looking forward to? reaching the thirty week mark, finishing the nursery, and the baby showers my sweet friends and family are throwing.

How your baby's growing:
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
